Conversations

With Conversations, you get a self-hosted communication platform that lives on your own server, under your rules. Self-hosting it means no per-user subscription and no third-party cloud holding your information.

Development happens in the open on Codeberg; the repository has collected 344 stars so far. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 9, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot. It is listed as a companion app — a tool that extends or helps you manage a self-hosted service rather than replacing it. It is available for Android.

Before you switch

Communication tools only work if your people can reach them. Check guest access, mobile apps, and federation or bridging support before migrating a community. Self-hosting gives you the data and the rules, but someone has to own updates and moderation.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Conversations is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
